The Series II has black cloth covering the grills instead of dark gray, same drivers and tweeters. These are the entry level line from Polk right now. The name is a throwback to the original monitor series in either the 1970's or 80's(don't remember which decade). Back then Polk only did really high end speakers. Newegg has the Monitor 60 Series II for $99 each if you want to round out this set, coupon code ends 12/7. For your center, I recommend the CS20 from the TSI line. In my room(20' x 22') and after break in, they are much clearer and deeper voices when watching TV and movies than the CS2s that are supposed to go with this set. Happy Holidays.

I have been doing lot of research on LCD TVs and my observation is LN52B750 is best with internet, 240Hz and 2ms response time for almost same price as the other models. Red TOC some times distract your view compared to the Gray TOC in B750.Fry's in sunnyvale,CA has the B750 model for just $1704 until July 16th.

I have the new one. Co-Worker accidently purchased old one after he saw mine. Old one is thicker, but smaller width and height. The thickness would have been a problem for me to fit into my already bulging laptop case, but I didn't have problems with the height/Width. Coworker would not have been able to fit this new version into his laptop case. I personally think that the image quality, stand, the way that the cable exits the unit, and the speed of the monitor are better and worth the extra money if you can support the size.

It's limited. Mine did never work. When I asked for a warranty they said to attend but in a second mail they asked me to request Amazon the warranty. Unfortunately by that time the warranty period with Amazon had already passed. With no remedy my monitor had to be sent to the trash.

I got good service when I returned mine because it wasn't as good as my current monitor.If you're on a tight budget I guess it may work. For me the difference was too significant to keep it. I was amazed because it was lauded as a great monitor, but when I got it, I was very disappointed

Yes & that is the version I own. Some people get confused with the B1 in the name, even a YouTube reviewer that I've seen. I believe that the company intends to release different types of monitors & the B1 refers to a type, not version. They should drop the B1 nonsense or just call it B1.

I think if you look at the specs you'll be able to find out. No idea what monitor I have, it's my work computer. I am however starting to get some feedback from the speaker and it isn't very old. Its small and takes up no space which is nice, but not so sure about the quality at this point.

I just ordered this model a few weeks ago as a second monitor to for my existing one, same model, and I noticed a yellowish tint. Didn't know this was an existing known issue. Am not at home so I can't look up the manufacturer date. What areas shold I take?

I took mine to pieces to find that it was made several years ago (most Chinese products have the date of manufacture printed inside) and therefore not as new as advertised. I used the monitor for something else as in my opinion it has no value. Just my opinion. Sorry can't help you. Get your money back from Amazon.

I have one on a P2770FH that is not working very well. My OEM is rated at 14VDC and 3.5 amps. This power supply is rated for 3amps and my monitor turns off after less than an hour of use. I have to wait for a little while and then I can turn it on again. It maybe my monitor and not the power supply. I am going to order another power supply with higher amp rating and see if it will stay on.

The 70 inch (70lb7100) is 31ms, which is much better than average. I would expect this model to do the same since it has essentially the same guts. The better Sony's will do about 20, while most TV's are around 50.

I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u. I person I work with, who is a stickler for this kind of stuff, bought this TV and really has enjoyed it. According to him you really cant beat it without going up in price by a few thousand dollars. Just as a side note, best I can tell these couple of models use the same panel and just have a few minor differences. 50PZ700U - My preferred right now 50PZ750U - Same with some more plugs and color settings. Costs more as well. 50PZ77U - Not totally sure what the difference is, but it seems very similar.

Replace the DisplayPort cable, it sucks.Buy another, much thicker one,one that's rated for 2160 x 3840 pixels, 60 Hz, IPS, DisplayPort 1.2 . Seriously.With a bad/poor cable, like the one that comeswith the $700 Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q,you might be forced into 29 Hz, low-res mode...and/or the cable will just plain break, causing garbage to appear on the screen.It's worse if you swing it portrait, and/or move it around a lot.The original cable had bent pins and the like... really bad.Why did Dell give me such a -crappy- cable ? ?Dell's cable is half the thickness of the $9 one I boughtto replace it ( same day shipping, from/to Seattle, Amazon ).

Call the monitor company and give them the model of your computer. It's relatively difficult otherwise.

Hi Jon, I can only address the unit which I have purchased which is revision A06. I have been satisfied with the performance of this monitor. I use it as a secondary monitor for a CAD setup with a very fast and powerful Dell Precision Workstation laptop unit. I think you will be best served by the latest revision which may be even higher than A06. I purchased the unit just under a year ago through Amazon. It is always wise to see the model up close to be able to touch it and get a feel for the display quality, but typically the big box stores will never be able to beat the price of a web distributor such as Amazon. Good luck with your purchase.
